How to Say ‘OK, thank you! Goodbye!’ in Simplified Chinese

好的,谢谢!再见!

hǎo de xiè xiè zài jiàn

[hǎo de shyeh-shyeh zàijiàn]

🇨🇳 In China: This is the natural way to close a booking call once the staff confirm your table. Chinese phone calls often end quickly after this, sometimes with a fast 拜拜 (bái bái) "bye-bye" instead of 再见.
